renewal – missional renewal.
without both, the church will have no life or unity to
enable us to fulfill God’s mission.
What is missional renewal? It’s all about a fresh
awakening in us pertaining to God’s mission.
We are embarking on a missional renewal here in
Grace. We want to focus on what matters most and

De-Mystifying Spiritual Gifts Part 3
When I teach on spiritual gifts, my students say, “you have
demystified the exercise of gifts!” That is true. Every principle I
teach is biblical, understandable and fully transferrable. Everything
I do by example can be done by other believers.
It has to do with asking the right questions. It is not “what gift am
I exercising?” or “is this of God or just me?” The right question s
to ask are “is what I have to share going to be a blessing to others,
to build them up, encourage them to the victory I have received in
the Lord, or will it bring comfort to people?” That is all found in 1
Corinthians 14:3. Is the content of what I am sharing biblical? Am
I sharing it humbly and in love? This allows you to step forward in
faith.
The key is listening to what the Holy Spirit is speaking into your
spirit. I always say the first thing is to listen to all the impressions.
That does not mean all impressions are from the Holy Spirit. It
simply means we need to be open to God. Then we can wait for
confirmations by others, or to how God confirms that to us through
circumstances, or scriptures. It is important in this busy world with
so many noises and voices calling out to us, that we quiet our hearts
and listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to our spirit. The more
we learn to listen, the more we can hear what the Spirit is saying to
our spirit. We gain confidence. 7 times in the book of Revelation
it says, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.” Isaiah 30:21 tells of the still small voice that speaks to
us. Samuel learned to listen as a child by saying, “speak Lord, your
servant is listening.”
04
Grow in the exercise of gifts. Samuel grew in his ministry to be
a priest, a judge in Israel, and a prophet. He played the key
transition role between the judges and the kings of Israel. He
became a true leader in Israel. You may grow from one ministry
into another. That’s why I say, start with the ministries you know
you have, but keep growing. Grow by spending time in prayer,
by exercising what God has already given you, by sensing where
the needs are, by taking steps of faith. Grow from receiving a
blessing, to being a blessing, to claiming God’s victory and Satan’s
defeat. Grow from a passive stance in worship, lifting your spirit in
worship, to encouraging others by your worship, to seeing worship

as warfare that chases the devil away! ! Corinthians 14:21 says
“you may all prophesy one by one, that all may be instructed
and encouraged.” The word “instructed” in this verse actually
means “be disciple”. There is a discipleship in the Spirit as we
learn how to exercise the gifts!
A simple search of the end-time literature online will generate a variety
of opinions on the topic of Rapture. This is a hotly-debated issue.
Proponents of each view are convinced of the accuracy of their own
interpretation and indeed, their explanations do sound convincing with
Scriptural quotations and “proofs”.
Step out by faith. In your Grace group it is less intimidating
than to share with a large crowd. As you meet people
informally, God may just lead you to pray for someone’s
sickness or special need. You may ask people if they have a
special need. Then ask God “how” He wants you to pray for
that need. Just reach out and pray for people. Don’t make a
big deal of it. No need to say “thus says the Lord” but simply
and casually pray. Make it natural.
The Rapture Debate.1 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 teaches that Christ
will return in the air to resurrect Christians who have died and then
“rapture” (Latin for “caught up”) living believers together with dead
so that all will from then on be “with the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:5153 teaches that at the rapture (compare “trumpet”, “dead raised” – 1
Thessalonians 4:16) resurrected Christians and living Christians will
all receive “glorified” bodies (compare Jesus’ glorified body – John
20:19; 21:1,13).
Don’t be afraid of evaluation. Be teachable. This provides
a safety net, a covering through which all may exercise gifts,
knowing that it is ok to see if what you are sharing is confirmed
by others. “No prophecy came about because of the prophet’s
own interpretation” 2 Peter 1:20. What God shares with one
person, He also shares with others in the body of Christ. The
leader can confirm the word as that which God is speaking to
the congregation, others can share what God is impressing
them with. Other aspects of that truth will be revealed and we
will begin to see the full message of what God is saying. “We
know in part and we prophesy in part.” 1 Corinthians 13:9.
That means we need the other parts. We are interdependent.
Because we only share in part, we need to remain humble and
teachable. We need to be sure what we share is based on the
Word of God.
1 Corinthians 14:26 says, “when you come together, everyone
has a hymn, a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an
interpretation.” Of course, this works best in smaller groups
such as the Grace group. But the idea is this. We do not
come as spectators but participators in this great drama of
redemption. Come proactively listening to God and the needs
of others. Pray for those around you. Be sensitive to what their
needs may be. Reach out and minister to them. You will be
amazed how God will use you!
Love@Grace – A Lunch Treat for Construction Workers
10th September —the aroma of nasi biryani filled the ground of GII.
Love@Grace is an initiative by the staff of Grace Assembly. It began with
staff loving, encouraging and embracing one another. But it did not stop
there; they spurred one another towards love and good deeds. After three
rounds of prayer walking around GII, they invited the workers of Tycoon
Construction for lunch. They are the workers building the HDB block
opposite GII.

There are many views of the rapture question. Pretribulationists
believe that Christ will return in the rapture, prior to the tribulation,
to take believers to heaven. They understand the second coming
of Christ in judgment to be after the tribulation (as in diagram).
Posttribulationists believe that the rapture of Christians and the
second coming occur together after the tribulation. Other views
are that the rapture will occur in the middle of the tribulation
(midtribulationalism) or that the rapture will occur before the
tribulation but only spiritually mature Christians will go (partial
rapture theory) or that the rapture will occur during the last half of the
tribulation but before the final judgments (pre-wrath rapture view).
The Assemblies of God denomination hold to the PreTribulation stand.
Here are some of the reasons given for this perspective.
No tribulation passage mentions the church. Revelation 4-18 , which
describes the Great Tribulation includes no reference to the church.
Phrases such as, “those in Christ,” “the body of Christ,” or “the
church” are not found. Tribulation believers are called “saints” or the
“elect” – general terms that can apply to believers in any age. Actually
no Old or New Testament passage on the tribulation mentions the
church (Deuteronomy 4:20; Jeremiah 30:4-11: Daniel 9:27; 12:1,2;
Matthew 24:15-31; 1 Thessalonians 9:10; 5:4-9).
Several passages explicitly state that Christians won’t go through the
tribulation. Revelation 3:10 teaches clearly that believers will be kept
“from the hour of testing” (Revelation 4-18 – the Great Tribulation).
Posttribulationalists must either change the meaning of these words or
push all the catastrophes of the tribulation to the end of the tribulation
or suggest that believers somehow are protected from the tribulation
judgment on the earth. None of these explanations fit the facts. 1
Thessalonians 1:10 similarly states that Christians are to “wait for His
Son from heaven…Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.” 1
Thessalonians 5:9,10 teaches the same truth.
The imminence of Christ’s return demands a pretribulational rapture.
According to the pretribulational view Christ could return at any
time (imminence). Many passages suggest this (1 Corinthians 1:7;
Philippians 3:20; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Timothy 6:14; Titus 2:13;
Revelation 22:20; etc.). According to other rapture views there is
no imminence. Christ’s return for believers would be a predictable
moment (middle of tribulation, end, etc.).
There is nobody to live in the millennium in the posttribulational views.
When the tribulation ends, there must be some people left in their
natural bodies to live in and populate the millennial earth (Isaiah 65:725, etc.). If, as posttribulation-alists believe, the rapture of believers
and the Second Coming of Christ in judgment are both at the end of
the tribulation, there is no one left to populate the millennial earth.
All believers are in heaven – raptured or resurrected. All unbelievers
are destroyed and in hell. But in the pretribulational view, there is no
problem. Many people will be saved during the tribulation (Revelation
7:4,9,14). Of those, many will be martyred (Revelation 6:11; 7:14;
13:15) but some will survive to the end of the tribulation (Matthew
24:22; Mark 13:13). These will enter the millennium in natural bodies
(Matthew 25:34; the ones “left” enter millennium – Matthew 24:40, 41
and Luke 17:34-37).
Post-tribulationists argue that that the Rapture takes place at the end
of the Tribulation in connection with the Second Coming because
of Jesus’ discourse in Matthew 24-25, and especially in Matthew 24:
31. However, looking at the context and the audience intended for
the book of Matthew, Christ is directing His discourse to the Jews,
specifically His disciples, not the church. Christ is answering questions
about Israel’s future and the millennial kingdom, not the church. Just

The Rapture of the Church The Second Coming of Christ
Christ returns in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
Christ returns to the earth
(Zechariah 14:4,5)
The Rapture brings comfort (1 Thessalonians 4:18)
The Second Coming brings judgment
(Revelation 19:15)
The Rapture concerns the church – “In Christ” (1 Thessalonians 4:14,16)
The Rapture changes the bodies of believers (1 Corinthians 15:51-53)
The Second Coming concerns Israel and the nations
(Zechariah 12:2-9)
The Second Coming changes the
hearts of Jews
(Zechariah 12:10)
because there are trumpets and clouds in both instances does not
mean they are the same. Angels do the gathering in Matthew, the
Lord Himself catches the believers up at the rapture. Hence pretribulationalists conclude that the Rapture and Second Coming are
separate events.
For those who are still interested in greater details of the debate, you
can refer to the following articles, one on pre-tribulation and one on
post-tribulation perspective:
Eschatology: Different Rapture Views by Greg Rugh. www.biblebb.
com/files/eschatology.htm
The Rapture: Truth or Speculation? By Dennis Bratcher. http://www.
crivoice.org/rapture.html
We can understand the various perspectives and give grace to one
another for our positions. The difficulty in a clear interpretation of the
end-time or apocalyptic literature like the Book of Revelation is that
it is written in metaphors, symbols and references which we can only
give an educated guess because of the long gap of time between the
prophetic writings and today. One important principle is to understand
the context of the passage, as we mentioned in the case of Matthew
23-25 above.
Amidst all these various viewpoints and arguments, we need to know
what is truly central to our faith: what central tenets of faith cannot be
compromised and what fringe issues and diverse opinions that can
be accepted. All beliefs concerning the nature and revelation of the
Godhead, the work of salvation by Christ which is to be appropriated
by grace, His resurrection and the gospel – these are non-negotiable.
Any other issues or beliefs like in which way we ought to worship, the
modes of baptism, the possible timing and sequence of events of His
return are subject to either cultural and traditional church practices or
diverse interpretations, depending on whether we take which portions
of the bible to be literal or symbolic.
Another important principle is to draw out the main idea of the biblical
passages. The concern of these authors was not to give us a timeline
but a hope, a lesson in holy living and a call to tenacious faith. If we
were to take a step back from the arguments and look at the main
message of each end-time exhortation in the Bible, we would discern
neither the importance of predicting the timing of Christ’s return nor
the sequence of events. From Daniel to Ezekiel to Zechariah in the Old
Testament, and from Jesus to his disciples, and in particular John, to
Paul in the New Testament, the urgency to live the life of faithfulness
and holiness is emphasized. Be ready. Persevere. Don’t give up. He will
return. It is the certainty of our Lord’s return that gives us this blessed
hope. It is the judgment of our just and holy God on a rebellious world
that will ensure that His sovereign will and plan for humanity will come
to pass and that our current travail, pains and sufferings will not be for
nothing.
So no matter which view or what sequence or even the timing of
His return, rapture or second coming, we are to focus on living a
life to honour and worship Him, and to share the gospel – the great
commandment and the great commission. Our priorities and our
resources ought to be concentrated on these, on building up of the
Body of Christ, to partner with the Holy Spirit and to see the fulfilment
of God’s great plans and purposes.

THE HEART OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS COLOURFUL
It does not matter what colour you are, or what language you
speak, or how cultured you are. Jesus loves you no matter
what.
On 10 September, Grace Assembly came together to pray for
the Migrant Workers in Singapore during World Prayer. We had
a great time praying for the different people groups in Singapore as well as taking some time to pray for our Grace Filipino
Ministry. It is interesting to see how we as a church are becoming more and more like Jesus as we reach out to the foreign
workers in our midst. When we reach out to bless other people,
we are reflecting the heart of our Heavenly Father. May be our
negative biases against certain people groups be blown away
by the power of the Holy Spirit as we approach them with the
love of Jesus Christ!
Jesus. Imagine how much more people out there who are
waiting for the gospel!” - Sister Fong Lin
There were a total of 7 missions teams who went out from
Grace Missions over the month of September. 5 of those
teams went for the purpose of Leaders’ Training; 3 were to the
Riau Islands, and 1 of them is the R-AGE team to Sri Lanka. As
we are nearing the end of the year, the number of Missions
Trips are starting to pick up. There will be many teams from
the Chinese ministries heading into East Asia for missions. Do
pray for them as the teams prepare and plan for their year-end
trips.

Grace Missions Awareness
Over the past month, I had the chance to go for quite a few
missions trips into Indonesia. I got to hear many encouraging
experiences from the trippers as it was the first time some of
them are stepping out for missions. I would like to highlight
one missions trip to Karimun that comprised mainly of elderly people from the Chinese Ministries. Many of them were
surprised at how much energy they have to bless the children.
Indeed everyone can do something for Jesus!
By Ronald Seet
June and I taught them on “The Making of a Leader” I
showed them that God works in us over a life time to bring us
to a point of convergence where our lives can be of maximum
impact. I further showed them that whatever difficulties they
experienced at every phase of their life, God will use those
experiences to make the leader within them. In this process,
God uses problems, relationship failures, setbacks, conflicts,
impossible situations to bring the best out of us, and to make
us complete and mature lacking nothing.

GI Children’s Church Team (Primary Six Cohort)
The main thing that stood out was this 19 year old lady. She
was so hungry for God that in this summer holiday, she read
the entire Bible within 2 months. Conscientiously everyday she
would read it even though she may not quite understand. She
told me, “I will finish reading the entire Bible because I want to
have a broad understanding of God’s word. When I am done,
I will buy a English Bible to read and will study and learn and
allow God to do more in my life.”
God surprised me. He touched my heart in more ways than
one. He moved in such a powerful way. I knew it has nothing
to do with me. In this trip, I learned to love the people in this
country. God took away my negative bias towards the people.
It was so difficult to get me to go there but now it will be difficult to stop me from going because I want to be where God is.

introducing our Grace Pastor:
PS LI CUIXIAN
You can call me Cui-xian or CX. My journey as a Grace staff
began in 2000. Yes, it’s that long ago. I served in R-AGE for 12
years before moving on to serve the adults.
My calling is a testament to God’s love for me. I could vividly
hear God say, “It’s you,” when the pastor gave an altar call
during the Festival of Praise (1990) to respond to full-time
ministry. Though I did not respond by going forward, I
challenged God to ‘settle’ my non-believing parents. Initially,
I thought I was to serve in the para-organisation which I was
very involved in back then. However, I ended up working at
United Bible Societies for a few years.
I remember my first week of work at Grace, I asked the
Lord why those years at UBS. The Lord reminded me of
my challenge. It was at UBS that I gained dad’s trust (God’s
work of building that trust). He was boasting to his friends
about the travelling I was making for work. So my dad
trusted my decision to come to Grace. Despite being against
Christianity, he did not object to my decision. God ‘settled’
my parents.
I truly believed that I would serve the young people till I retire
or until the Lord moved me. I enjoyed discipling, empowering
and seeing them serve the Lord wherever they were. And
there were times I disciplined them too. It was really heartwrenching to see my ‘children’ make silly, wrong decisions
(I cried bucket-loads). Today I see many of them serving the
Lord and the community. All the tears and effort were worth
it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents for
your trust and the privilege to journey with you.
Now, I am the D&D pastor (not Dinner & Dance) but
Discipleship & Development. That entails Grace Discipleship
Process (GDP) and Staff Development. GDP is still in its
infancy, making its progress slowly and steadily. Together
with others, I am involved in the planning and drafting
of curriculum, implementing the discipling process and
organising seminars and classes. Staff Development is also
another area. Staff retreats and Grace Internship Program
(GIP) are part of it.
My dreams regarding the D&D role are
– one, God will inspire and convince all
Gracians to be disciple-makers. Disciplemaking is the way to go (Mat 28:19-20). As
reproducing and parenting is natural to life,
so is disciple-making. Second, the vision
of having more home-grown staff would
require God’s help to develop a way of
mentoring, coaching and inculcating the
potential of new staff.
Pray with me, that my dreams will come true.
Amen!

REACH
R-AGE
R-AGE Alpha:
The End of The Beginning
CARING & SHARING:
BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
by Eugene Lim, Co-chairperson – R-AGE Alpha Committee 2014
“Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead
they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see
your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:15-16
One particular night, an old man
went out for a walk on the beach,
finding thousands of starfish
on the beach. He reasoned
this was caused by the storm
that had raged in the day,
sweeping these starfish to
the shore. As he continued
walking, he saw little boy
picking the beached starfish
up and throwing them into
the sea with all his might.
The old man, puzzled at the
futility of his actions, said with
exasperation, “What are you
doing, boy? Don’t you see how
many there are? What difference can
you make?”
REACH Charity Fund-raising Dinner 2014 – A Selfless Contribution
Thank God for a blissful event during our recent REACH Charity
Fund-raising Dinner at Marina Mandarin Hotel. To the Gracians
who were there, thank you for being part of the enthusiastic crowd
of more than 500 diners. Thank you for your participation in the
auction sale and donations. Your selfless contribution has helped us
to raise over $350,000 that night, bringing our total funds raised thus
far in 2014 to about $600,000.
We thank God for His bountiful provision during our various fundraising events. We continue to trust that God will help us to meet
the target of $1 million by end 2014, before the expiry of the Care &
Share Movement on 31 December.
The boy, hearing this, threw another starfish back into the sea. He
then looked back at the old man with a smile. “It made a difference
to that one.”
The R-AGE Alpha program commenced on the 28th of June and
ran weekly every Saturday over the course of 12 weeks. The course
encompassed 14 different sessions, ending with a graduation
ceremony on the 13th of September. R-AGE Alpha is R-AGE’s very
own interpretation of the Alpha course. Created for curious preChristians, a typical session would include breakfast, games, worship,
a ‘life talk’ and finally discussions.
16
Each life talk would touch on various aspects of Christianity. The
speakers would tackle topics like “Who is Jesus?” and “Why Does
God Allow Suffering?” through sharing their own experiences with
God. The participants would then engage in facilitated discussions
to help them work through their questions regarding these topics,
and in so doing, discover Christian perspectives to some of life’s
biggest questions.
One of the highlights was the Room Escape, TWELVE, that kicked
off the R-AGE Alpha programme, with a morning of complicated
puzzle-solving and teamwork. By God’s faithfulness, what began as
slowly trickling registration numbers exploded to a grand total of 53
newcomers brought by many R-AGErs. Another highlight was Ohana,
a 2D1N retreat where the participants had the chance to experience
Christian fellowship through programmes, culminating in a hearty
barbecue.
The Alpha Committee is thankful for the journeys of the numerous
participants. On the day of the graduation ceremony, it was heartening
to hear the sinner’s prayer echoed amongst
the participants as we rejoiced with them
for their salvation. Although attendance
tended to fluctuate around 6-7
people throughout the weeks, the
committee is reminded that what
mattered throughout the course
was not attendance or numbers,
but relationships – relationships
forged by the participants with
God, and with members of the
body of Christ - and the seeds
planted in their hearts. At the
end of the course, R-AGE Alpha
graduated a total of 12 young
people from the course, with 5 among
them becoming believers and regularly
attending cell groups as of today.
Lee Strobel once said the process of evangelism is like forging a chain
with many links, with salvation as the ultimate completion of this chain.
Each and every link represents an experience or person that nudges
one towards God. While it is heartening to be the last link in the chain
and see the fruit of salvation, what mattered most throughout the
course was the fact that we had an opportunity to be a part of that
chain; the knowledge that each and every young person who attended
just one life talk is one step closer to salvation.
It is for this reason we rejoice with all our hearts: that we had the
opportunity to make a difference for a handful of starfish.
Our God is a global God!
Early September, a team of 10 R-AGErs embarked on a eight-day
missions trip to Sri Lanka, Vavuniya.

We had the opportunity to visit two public schools to reach out to
the youths and teachers. It was an unprecedented event, where a
church organisation was allowed to conduct programmes for a public
school. Even though we could not share the gospel openly, the team
believes that seeds have been planted in their hearts through our
interaction with them.
We also held a youth camp in Assembly of God Vavuniya and
had the chance to spend some quality time with the youths. I was
deeply encouraged by how joyful the locals are. They were very
appreciative of the smallest things like having a snack time and
even playing simple games. It really got me thinking about how we
as Singaporeans are very fortunate to have so much, but can
sometimes feel so dissatisfied at
the same time.
God works in
Interesting and
mysterious ways. I
had the privilege to
share my testimony
during the youth
camp. As much as
I believe that my
testimony spoke
to the Sri Lankan
youths, I was also

greatly impacted by my own testimony. It reminded me of God’s
redemptive power and how God’s love will pursue me all my life
(Psalms 23:6).
During our time there, we went to a few homes to visit the
believers as well as to spend time with the children with songs
and games. Even though it was supposed to be a believer’s
meeting, there were a few pre-believers from the nearby villages
who sat with us to listen to our testimonies and sharing. It was
truly exciting to see five salvations during our first believer’s
meeting, praise the Lord!
During the last service, God placed the word “Revival” in
my heart as we were praying.
It was during our
trip debrief that
we found out
God had spoken
to a few of the
other members
the same thing.
We believe that
God is doing His
great work in Sri
Lanka, and this is
just the beginning
of something great.
All glory to God!

Project Neighbour
Community Care’s activities entered its fourth year and we
are privileged to continue to care for the low-income families
for Hong Kah North Community Club in 2014.
On September 5, our R-agers (Youth) went to Hong Kah
North Community Club in the evening with a mission to
“transform” the basketball court into a mini-supermarket.
On September 6, Dr. Amy Khor, grassroots advisor to Hong
Kah North Community Club, led the residents into the
“mini-supermarket”. We are thankful for this opportunity
to draw closer to the residents and communicate with them
as they chose the items. About 110 families were there that
day accompanied by our Befrienders. Besides choosing
the items, we also had another 50 brothers and sisters who
helped to distribute 70 packs of ration food to the elderly at
their home.
“During the event, I was given the task of befriending the
residents and bringing them around the food stations.
At first, I was nervous about how to approach and talk to
the residents comfortably as it was my first experience.
However, when I met the residents that were assigned to me,
I mustered up my courage and initiated conversations with
them. As we continued talking, it got a lot easier and I was
glad that I had taken the first step in befriending them. With
this new challenge undertaken, I would be able to have more
confidence in future when faced with a similar task.” by Tong
Yin Yern.
Ps Patrick Lee
Dr. Amy Khor and the residents were grateful for our acts of
love.
The following sharing is from one of our volunteers
pertaining to the event experience.
